Can't Access Data on my SBSE 2011 Backups

Question

Today I grabbed one of my SBSE 2011 backup drives (all backups were reported as successful) to see if I could access the data. I connected the 2TB WD drive to my Windows 7 machine, navigated to the single VHD file and attached it so that I could view the
files. Unfortunately it shows up as unallocated space and Windows is asking to initialize the drive before it can access it. If SBSE 2011 is reporting that the backups were successful on that drive, then where is my data and why can't I access it?
